Touya Yaoyao

Chapter 118 The Secret Tower of the Imperial Palace

Although it sounded like a complaint, Bai Taoshi sensed something else in it, so he thought for a moment before speaking to Yu Yaoyao:

"Actually, it won't take long; it can be done right now."

He spoke so casually, as if it were a trivial matter. Yu Yaoyao shrugged and said irritably:

"But I just finished breakfast, and besides, I'm not a pig."

Shiratoshi was amused by her words and couldn't help but shake his head with a laugh.

Meanwhile, Bai Juncheng, with a loving expression, gently stroked the back of Zhao Hede, who was in a state of emotional distress, in an attempt to soothe her. Zhao Hede, recalling everything she had seen in the video, cried even more uncontrollably.

It makes sense. A prince of a country, a child who has grown up pampered and spoiled since childhood, has to wander and suffer because of other people's selfishness. As a mother, how could she not feel sad and heartbroken!

Knowing that Zhao Hede was heartbroken, Bai Juncheng didn't say much, but silently comforted her and gave her strength. Moreover, the crying didn't last long; Zhao Hede quickly composed herself, gritted her teeth, and said with a face full of resentment:

"I will not let the people from the Elders' Council get away with this."

Not only will Zhao Hede not let it go, but Bai Juncheng will not let it go either, but the time is not right yet, so we must endure for the time being.

Bai Juncheng and Zhao Hede were both thinking about revenge. Just as they were finishing their thoughts, Zhao Hede seemed to remember something, and with a complicated expression, looked at Bai Juncheng and abruptly asked:

"Juncheng, where do you think Yu Yaoyao got these videos from?! Surely someone planted cameras on her with the National Security Bureau?! Otherwise, how could the entire incident be so clearly documented?"

Yes, Zhao Hede and his team finally discovered the problem? They finally realized something was wrong, they came to their senses, and they felt that the source of the video was problematic.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, trust begins to crumble. When Zhao Hede and his team began to doubt the source of the video, it meant they were not far from uncovering the truth.

At this moment, Bai Taoshi was taking Yu Yaoyao for a walk. Of course, it wasn't just a walk; they also chatted about various things, such as telling Yu Yaoyao some interesting stories about the palace, or embarrassing things that happened when he was a child. They also talked about some unknown secrets of the palace.

Yu Yaoyao wasn't interested in any of these things, so she could only half-heartedly agree. The two strolled around leisurely for nearly half an hour when Zhao Hede called.

Perhaps because he remembered that Yu Yaoyao said Bai Taoshi could testify, Zhao Hede directly asked Bai Taoshi what was going on with the video. As for Zhao Hede's question, Bai Taoshi also intended to keep it a secret and directly led them to the building on the west side of the palace.

Bai Taoshi spoke frankly, but Zhao Hede remained puzzled. To be honest, as a former princess and now the emperor, she had spent nearly forty years in this palace. What could possibly be in that unremarkable building on the west side?

It's no wonder Zhao Hede was puzzled. After all, since the sudden death of the emperor of Zhao Kingdom a thousand years ago, the secret of the building in the west has remained unknown. Even the birth of the Council of Elders is related to that building.

But that's a story for later. The most important thing now is to find out the truth, so even though Bai Juncheng and Zhao Hede had doubts, they still went to the building on the west side.

To be honest, this building seemed no different from the others in the palace, and even looked quite ordinary. But just as Bai Juncheng was about to push the door open, a strange electric current was released through the door, causing Bai Juncheng to tremble all over and fall to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhao Hede didn't dare to be careless. She picked up a wooden stick to poke at the door, but before she could even move it, there was a crack, and the stick instantly turned into a pile of powder.

Unable to approach or force their way in, Bai Juncheng and Zhao Hede exchanged a grave glance, sensing that something fishy was going on in this building.

But if this building is so heavily fortified, how did Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi get in?! They couldn't have just walked in, could they?!

But how did they get in? Did they have a key? Even if they did, the door didn't seem to be locked. How did they get in?!

Completely baffled, Zhao Hede and Bai Juncheng subconsciously straightened their attitudes when they saw Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi arriving late.

As elders, they still cared about their image and absolutely couldn't show weakness in front of the children. Looking at the two standing at the door, Bai Taoya couldn't help but ask in surprise:

Why aren't you going in?

Upon hearing this, Bai Juncheng turned his head to the side, giving an expression as if he hadn't heard anything, while Zhao Hede coughed lightly and added:

"Let's go in together; we're afraid we'll encounter danger if we go in first."

Their words sounded grand and dignified, but Bai Taoshi narrowed his eyes slightly. Yu Yaoyao was too lazy to pay attention to these things and went to the electronic screen to scan her face with ease.

Just like last time, the previously closed door suddenly opened. Bai Juncheng stared in astonishment at the scene and subconsciously turned his gaze to Yu Yaoyao, his face full of disbelief.

No, he thought Bai Taoshi would open the door, but he never expected Yu Yaoyao to open it! She's not a member of the royal family, so how could she open the door?

No, we haven't investigated this girl's background yet, so it's impossible to determine if she's a member of the royal family. Perhaps she is, otherwise why would a little girl of a few years old save Bai Taoshi? There must be a blood relationship for her to do so.

Bai Juncheng was feeling smug about his idea when he suddenly realized something: if Yu Yaoyao was truly of royal blood, wouldn't she be a close relative of Bai Taoshi?! If they were close relatives, no matter how much Bai Taoshi liked Yu Yaoyao, that... that wouldn't work, would it?!

Bai Juncheng's expression became complicated at the thought of this possibility, and Zhao Hede had obviously thought of it as well, so the two of them couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi are indeed close relatives, then no matter how much Bai Taoshi likes Yu Yaoyao, they will still ruin their relationship. This is because the royal family law stipulates that members of the royal family cannot intermarry. If they do, at best they will both be imprisoned for ten years, and at worst they will be stripped of their royal status, demoted to commoners, and never be able to enjoy the various benefits of commoners again.

But they were clearly overthinking it. Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi were not close relatives, nor could she be considered Bai Taoshi's cousin. As for why she appeared at the place where the kidnappers had abducted Bai Taoshi and why she saved Bai Taoshi, that required further investigation.

The door opened, and Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi entered without hesitation. Bai Juncheng and Zhao Hede hesitated to enter because they suspected Yu Yaoyao's identity.

Despite their hesitation, the two were stunned when they saw the room full of screens. They stared blankly at the screens, each displaying different images from Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa, and so on.

In other words, even without leaving the room, one can instantly know everything that happens on the entire Blue Star. In this way, the reason why Yu Yaoyao was able to produce the video seems to have a reasonable explanation.

Although they were willing to trust Yu Yaoyao, they still had their doubts. Yu Yaoyao didn't hold back and started operating the control panel in the room. In just five minutes, the large screen above the control panel suddenly lit up.

Although the content was similar to the video on the phone, Zhao Hede and Bai Juncheng still saw something else in it. They looked at Yu Yaoyao operating the control panel, remained silent for a long time, and then asked:

How did you find this place?!

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be nonchalant and replied casually:

"I was walking around and ended up here. I was curious why the door wasn't locked, so I looked around and accidentally opened it."

Having said that, she looked at Shirato Shirai, who also helped to explain:

"That day she said she wanted to come to the palace to see if there were any clues, so the two of us started wandering around the palace. That's when we found this house. At the time, I thought it was a scam, but who knew it actually worked."
